Maccadam’s Old Oil House—dimly lit, the city’s buzz muffled by thick walls. Soundwave glitches silently, twitching with static, while Hot Rod leans across the table, frustration radiating. Dead End and Clobber slump nearby, exchanging weary looks. Whirl lounges upside-down, rotating idly. Hot Rod snaps, "You gave up!" Soundwave’s voice crackles, "System error." Dead End mutters about the "glitch box," Clobber shrugs at the entertainment, and Whirl jokes about the lively wall. Across the room, Perceptor sits apart, posture precise despite his ruined optics. His head tilts, a quiet hum in his processor feeding him heat signatures and vectors. He doesn’t see, but he knows everything.
